10. Loyola Marymount
Last week: 10 (Idle)
Record: 12-18 (4-14)
RPI: 183
KenPom: 191
Place in Conf. Standings: 10
This past week: W vs. Santa Clara 75-71, L vs. USF 61-65.
Even though LMU only has seven scholarship players available moving forward, this past week of action instilled some hope in the hearts of LMU fans and players.
Loyola Marymount pulled out a victory versus Santa Clara this week, snapping a seven game losing streak. The Lions followed that performance by taking third place San Francisco to the wire on Saturday, despite being without starter Gabe Levin and backup guard Max Heller – which left the Lions with only six active players on the evening.
The Lions will take on seven seed Portland in the first round of the WCC tournament this upcoming Thursday.
